This tourist attraction did not live up to the hype that was promised. For context we visited around 2 pm on a Friday. The street was fun to see how excited people were to cross the street, but beyond that it was unremarkable. The view from the Starbucks was fun to see, but i wouldn’t visit for long

Iconic place in the city. During its busiest times, an estimated 1,000 to 2,500 people forge their way across this intersection every two minutes, enough to quickly fill up a football stadium. The phenomenon gave rise to its nickname "scramble," as pedestrians cross from all directions.

So exciting experience when you join the world's busiest crowd right at a major intersection in the center of Tokyo. There are many shopping malls around so you can spend money freely. The legendary Dog statue right on the corner is also a fun check-in place. A tip for taking photos from above is to visit Starbucks.

It's a "must see" if only because it's such an iconic image of Tokyo appearing in all the guide books and featured in many films. Five crossings here, when the lights go green it quite a site to see everyone heading towards and across each other somehow avoiding collisions. Great to visit this area at night with all the neon lights and advertising screens; a blaze of light.

This was the most amazing place must go for tourists! Talking to locals and they even come ever weekend for bars, clubs, and the night life. It's a must see at night! love this fun area great food and fun shopping 🛍️ The crossing, it self, was just crazy to see everyone in organized chaos lol never seen some many people crossing the street at once.
